Gun safety
Rule 1: Don’t shoot your pecker off.

Oregon man shoots self in groin while showing off gun in supermarket checkout line, cops say

An Oregon man accidentally shot himself in the groin while flaunting a concealed handgun at a Lincoln City supermarket.

The mishap occurred Sunday night when Nicholas J. Ellingford, 29, brandished his Glock 9mm in the checkout line at McKay’s Market on U.S. 101 and tried to show it off to a buddy, according to the Lincoln City Police Department.

Ellingford mistakenly pulled the trigger as he stuffed the piece back into his pants, police said. A bullet tore through the gunslinger’s groin and exited his thigh, just barely missing the man’s femoral artery.

The gruesome wound required Ellingford to be airlifted to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, said police, which added that he did not have a concealed handgun license and could face criminal charges for his reckless behavior.

No one else was injured.

<he did not have a concealed handgun license> We need rationale and reasonable gun controls that would prevent him and similar types from getting one.

‘Rational and reasonable’ are not concepts the right wing gun zealots are familiar with.

Rights, yes. Responsibility? Not so much.

< not concepts right wing zealots are familiar with>, agree.
Many responsible gun owners side with reasonable gun controls. That's a start, now all we need to agree on is a rational definition of reasonable.
